Job 23:3-11 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. If only I knew where to find God,I would go to his court.

4. I would lay out my caseand present my arguments.

5. Then I would listen to his replyand understand what he says to me.

6. Would he use his great power to argue with me?No, he would give me a fair hearing.

7. Honest people can reason with him,so I would be forever acquitted by my judge.

8. I go east, but he is not there.I go west, but I cannot find him.

9. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.I look to the south, but he is concealed.

10. “But he knows where I am going.And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.

11. For I have stayed on God’s paths;I have followed his ways and not turned aside.
